The Las Vegas Raiders' miserable 2025 NFL season has one glaring silver lining: The No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Winning meaningless games has prevented the Raiders from this coveted selection in recent years, but things were a special kind of dysfunctional and uncompetitive under Pete Carroll.
Turning things around will be no easy feat for Las Vegas, but it starts with landing the right head coach and quarterback combination. Free agent signings have done the team no favors under center, so the Raiders absolutely must use their top pick to select a young college signal-caller.
